Robbery-chase indictment returned

PEORIA — A West Bluff man faces up to 45 years in prison after being indicted last week by a Peoria County grand jury on a multitude of charges stemming from a robbery last month.

Antonio D. Hill, 24, 2126 W. Moss Ave., was indicted on charges of armed robbery, vehicular invasion, possession of a weapon by a felon and aggravated battery in connection with the May 22 incident.

About 1:30 a.m. that day, police were involved in a foot chase through the Taft Homes after a woman was robbed just outside the housing complex. Hill was found hiding in a trash bin, according to a report. A gun also was recovered, according to police. The vehicular invasion charge alleges he went into a Ford truck to commit a theft.

Hill is on parole after serving part of a six-year sentence handed down for a 2009 Peoria County drug conviction. Prosecutors have said the Department of Corrections had lodged a parole hold against Hill, so even if he posted 10 percent of $500,000 bond, he isn’t going to get out of custody.

Also indicted June 3 were:

>> Jeffrey L. Bogard, 35, of Glasford; possession of less than 15 grams of cocaine and possession less than 2.5 grams of marijuana.
